This book is a fantasy, a story of two brothers on an adventure. The nature of the fantasy is not revealed until the end, and is based on semi-real encounters that the author has observed in children. "Longfellow said it best: 'A boy's will is the wind's will.' In An Adventure to George Washington, DC Judith Berkman evokes that will. Teddy yearns to visit George Washington DC, his name for the capital city. He wakes his baby brother, Judah. (Judah's language is enormously expressive-and often hilarious but he is game for adventure, even in the middle of the night.) Yogi, their dog, will not be left behind and Teddy conjures up a rocket ship for speedy transport. And then...? Well, let me not spoil the story. Bright and lively, stimulating and educational, this adventure is brilliantly illustrated and well told." - Alphie McCourt, Author of A Long Stone's Throw, Heartscald, and other works
